Re Obama: Even Some Democrats Saying “Enough!”


By Allan Erickson / 22 July 2012 / 48 Comments

The United States is on the brink of complete transformation, changes feared by prominent Democrats. They warn if trends continue the damage will be irreparable. Imagine: liberals warning about liberalism on meth amphetamine leading to the destruction of the Democrat Party, and the country.

Hyperbole? Read on.

Dr. Douglas Schoen has been a political advisor, strategist and pollster for 30 years. In 1996 he was Bill Clinton’s campaign consultant.

Patrick Caddell is a political consultant and pollster. In 1972 he worked on the McGovern campaign. In subsequent years Caddell worked to elect Jimmy Carter, Gary Hart, Joe Biden and Jerry Brown.

Schoen and Caddell, writing together, published an article in the Wall Street Journal on November 21, 2011. It was titled: “The Hillary Moment—Obama can’t win by running a constructive campaign, and he won’t be able to govern if he does win a second term.” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...781477944.html

The lead paragraph reads:

“When Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson accepted the reality that they could not effectively govern the nation if they sought re-election to the White House, both men took the moral high ground and decided against running for a new term as president. President Obama is facing a similar reality—and he must reach the same conclusion.”

The final paragraph reads:

“If President Obama is not willing to seize the moral high ground and step aside, then the two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, must urge the president not to seek re-election—for the good of the party and most of all for the good of the country. And they must present the only clear alternative—Hillary Clinton.”

This is unprecedented: Democrats at this level calling on Obama to step down almost a year ago. And they have not backed down from arguing that this President is a threat to both the country and their Party.

Caddell, writing for Breitbart http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...axes-and-trust several days ago, actually called Obama an incompetent liar, then coached Republicans how to defeat him!

Describing the corrupt political class that forced Obamacare on the country, and the legislation itself a “crime against democracy,” Caddell challenged Republicans.

“Some Republicans are worried that the fight over Obamacare distracts from the issue of the economy. What these Republicans fail to realize is that healthcare and the economy are inextricably linked; Americans now realize that Obamacare was a detour on the road to economic recovery, so to remind them of one is to remind them of the other. And the two issues, compounded, are all the more powerful.”

Obviously Caddell relishes an Obama defeat.

Schoen has written for many months warning the Democrats to compromise and embrace bipartisanship, the pitfalls of Obamacare, the need to focus on jobs and the economy and the legitimacy of the Tea Party. Writing recently in Forbes he pointed out that Romney is outdoing Obama handily in fundraising and that will likely mean the difference in swing states.

Furthermore, the House recently having voted to repeal Obamacare, an effort to keep the debate fired up, voters would be wise to remember that not long ago President Clinton directly contradicted Obama on taxes and with regard to Obama’s attacks on Romney, saying Romney was a great governor, and he can be proud of a “sterling” business career as well.

(Insiders have long known there is no love lost between the Clintons and Obama.)

Notice this stunner as well: voters may have missed it because the MSM ignored the remarkable news, but recently President Carter accused Obama of being a war criminal. That is beyond remarkable, but it hardly created a ripple in the MSM.

Meanwhile, impeachment proceedings advance over Obama’s Libyan adventure, the investigation into Fast & Furious intensifies, the scandal over national security leaks makes Obama look very bad, Russian and Iran coordinated military exercises threaten the entire Middle East, and terrorists amass in South America thanks to Hugo Chavez (someone the President has embraced in the past), saying today Chavez is no threat. Really?

As Jeremiah Wright prophesied: “Them chickens is coming home to roost,” but in ways few predicted. As it turns out, Obama’s most potent adversaries reside within his own Party.

An Unconventional Convention: Blue Dress Bill and Pink Tutus


By Allan Erickson / 4 August 2012 / 1 Comment

Looks like the lure of the limelight and the pressure to do penance are converging to position Bill Clinton to promote the preposterous.

Yesterday, desperate Obama campaign officials, including David Axelgrease, announced gleefully that Clinton will formally nominate Obama at the Democrat convention in September. VP Biden will speak to the conventioneers the next day, no doubt stunting whatever boost Blue Dress Bill provides. One can always count on Joe to be irrelevant, idiotic or illusory.

Party bosses (Hollywood) must have leaned on Clinton for recent remarks he made, publicly embarrassing Obama. Whereas Obama wanted us to believe Romney was a lousy governor and a worse business man, Clinton came out the next day telling us Romney was a great governor who had a “sterling” business career. Whereas Obama had pressed for letting the Bush tax cuts expire, Clinton said leave them in place for now.

Perhaps Bill was reminded his daughter’s political future might be hindered unless his bright shiny face appears on the convention jumbotron. Axelgrease called it a matter of rightly deploying “assets”. Others would call it a political circus, a baboon ballet, noting the Clintons’ real attitude toward Obama, one they’ve called a liar in the past, one who actually tried playing the race card against the Clintons during the ’08 campaign.

So while there’s no honor among thieves, there’s less among Democrat politicians. Obama & Co. realize their campaign is hanging by a thread. It is a desperation move, expecting Clinton to stitch the tear.

Reportedly, Clinton enthusiastically accepted Obama’s invitation to speak. Doubtful. For Clinton to stand before the world and endorse a man he disrespects, and to do so with a straight face, especially in view of Obama’s incomparable failures, is to shame and embarrass himself, expecting people to believe a lie.

Perhaps Bill thinks his popularity, charisma, slick delivery and humor will sway the masses, but one can’t help think about another dimension involved here. For years Hillary “stood by her man” no matter how many times he humiliated her, in public. Now, it appears what he did to Hillary, Obama is doing to him.

It’s one thing for these people to rake each other over the coals playing their ego-trip games.

It’s quite another for them to be raking coals and burying the entire country.

Parting shot: One wonders if President Carter will be welcomed at the convention having called Obama a war criminal in June. Perhaps they’ll seat him next to Michael Moore, like before, but this time, dressed in a pink tutu.

The Republicans will never latch on to Obama Care, because there is no difference between the RINO'S or the DINO'S, none at all they work hand in hand as always. After all they both want this because they do the bidding of the corporations!!! That is who they work for not the American People. The Corporations love it what better way to get employee's off "their dole" than to keep this OBAMACARE alive....No more healthcare from them to pay into, most pensions gone and more going, it is then more big profits for them. Who pays as usual the tax payers of course out of the meager wages they get...they just love it when a plan comes together!!!!!
